From Casablanca’s dusty streets to the grand stages of Europe and Africa, Moroccan players have etched their names into football folklore. But when it comes to silverware — domestic league titles, cups, continental glory — who is truly the Morocco player with most trophies? In this deep dive, AnnuGoal takes you through the candidates, the stats, and the drama behind the number.
The contenders: past legends vs. modern superstars
To find the most decorated Moroccan player, we need to compare careers across eras. Here are some top names in the mix:
- Achraf Hakimi: Still active, combining club success in Europe with national team milestones.
- Badr El Kaddouri: A veteran Moroccan left-back who etched his name into European club success in earlier years.
- Mustapha Moustawdae: A Moroccan legend, especially revered for club success in Africa.
- (Honorable mentions: players like Mehdi Benatia, Noureddine Naybet, Hakim Ziyech have also collected trophies — but not at the same scale.)
We’ll zero in on the two strongest claims: Hakimi and El Kaddouri, and check whether Moustawdae really merits inclusion.
Achraf Hakimi: The modern king of silverware
Trophy haul & highlights
Hakimi’s trophy resume reads like a highlight reel. By mid-2025, his achievements include:
- Champions League: 2 titles
- Domestic league titles: 1 Serie A with Inter Milan (2020–21)
- Ligue 1 titles (France): 4 (with PSG)
- French Cups: 2 (2023–24, 2024–25)
- Trophée des Champions (French Super Cup): 3 (2022, 2023, 2024)
- UEFA Super Cup: multiple (with Madrid and PSG)
- FIFA Club World Cup: 1 with Madrid in 2017
- And more: national honors (Olympic bronze 2024 with Morocco U23)
By some counts, Hakimi has 16 to 17 trophies as of 2025.
Why Hakimi’s tally is compelling
- He’s still playing, so his total may keep growing.
- He’s succeeded in multiple leagues and in Europe’s top competitions.
- He blends domestic, continental, and global trophies — giving him breadth as well as depth.
Hakimi is widely regarded as the front-runner for Morocco player with most trophies in the modern era.
Badr El Kaddouri: The veteran with European flavor
Trophy resume
El Kaddouri, now retired, built his legacy in Ukraine and Scotland. His haul includes:
- Ukrainian Premier League: 4 titles with Dynamo Kyiv
- Ukrainian Cup: 4 victories
- Ukrainian Super Cup: 5 titles
- Scottish Premier League: 1 (on loan to Celtic)
- Domestic cups and perhaps national competitions in Morocco (e.g. his time at Wydad)
If you sum them, El Kaddouri’s total falls somewhere around 14–15 trophies.
El Kaddouri’s limitations vs. Hakimi
- Most of his successes are in Ukraine, not in the global spotlight.
- He doesn’t have a Champions League or world club title.
- He lacks the versatility in trophy types (e.g. continental competitions) that Hakimi has.
So while Lay Kaddouri is a decorated Moroccan, his tally doesn’t seem to surpass Hakimi’s current total.
Mustapha Moustawdae: The African club legend
Some argue for Mustapha Moustawdae’s inclusion. He’s famed in Moroccan and African club circles, especially for:
- CAF Champions League wins with Raja CA (1997, 1999)
- Domestic league titles with Raja during the 1990s
- Regional trophies, su, and other continental honors
However, his total count—even accounting for all club-level trophies—is lower than Hakimi’s international plus club haul. Moustawdae is a legend, but not the trophy king for all Morocco.
Verdict: Who is the Morocco player with most trophies?
At the current moment (mid-2025), Achraf Hakimi holds the edge. His rich blend of domestic, continental, and global silverware outpaces the totals of his rivals. His ongoing career also means his lead may widen further.
